why would Jamppi be on smokes when they have Redgar and Soulcas

Sayf is better Chamber rn in my opinion. Jamppi has been grinding bunch of Raze on stream so I assume he is going to change roles and make room for Sayf. Both are really flexible and good on rifle as well so shouldn't be a problem.

world isn't ready for the combined brain power of bonkar and ENGH

bonk winning worlds

Finnish candy

I mean I like Jamppi more, but Derke is overall better player. Jamppi is really flexible tho and somewhat underrated even.

Vitality

lol

EU teams too inconsistent I feel like. When good day they can do decent but play like shit every other game

Derke
Jamppi
Hoody
BONECOLD
Iluri/H1ber/Famsii I guess

they already have Swedish, Irish and British so 3 for Polaris

Favorite Sport : Ice Hockey, Floorball to play
Favorite Music Genre : pop

Depends on org. Some just create new ones once in a while while others make new jerseys for specific events or tournaments. Some change when they get new sponsor etc.

if he keeps up good individual form he will legit make it to tier 1 in no time. Guild used to 4v5 every team and still did well with Godkar's lead

Derke

scream best he just looks like chad and so confident

because LoL NA crowd is full of people with Asian heritage cheering for Chinese and even Korean teams

T1's is cool, but I like Liquid's Netherlands HQ quite a lot. Its relatively small but chill and located in nice place (I would assume). On top of that all the players have access to apartments rooms so they actually get some privacy if they want and when sleep etc. Much better than sleeping in hotel also.

sounds and looks horrible.. rip to the victims

Doesn't matter how much time these teams had. Different regions are just going to have different read on new maps and are going to play around it. Rumors for example said that Team Liquid was doing really well on it in scrims, but see how they got fucked by PRX. Why? Maybe because their game plan worked against EMEA teams and that is why they played it like they did. Its not coincidence why for example all 3 NA teams were doing well on Pearl why all 3 EMEA teams did shit on it. Their style of play in scrims etc was just better. Its like guessing game when no one knows how other regions play it. When next new map is going to be released it could be the exact opposite. Like see how Fnatic were dominating Fracture when it came out.

I think Champions was learning moment for EMEA teams when it comes to map pools. Also whole Pearl thing isn't as much about adapting. No one knows what the "real" read is before international games. They might have been confident in it because it worked in EMEA, but then other regions just had reads that worked better. We saw EMEA teams getting better at Pearl, but they didn't have enough time.

Also about DRX is that they are actually good team and were on good form. Fnatic was kind of shitting the bed whole tournament anyway and DRX was better and FPX played Haven with Viper comp that looked so lack luster on attack and likely reason why they perma banned it. Like DRX was really good in Champions. I'm more talking about NA especially teams like XSET and 100T. I don't think they are as proven yet as some people make it seem. Like I truly believe if Pearl didn't exist these teams wouldn't have done as well. But its just my opinion and I could be wrong. We will see next year.

EMEA in my opinion. In my honest opinion NA and SA are bit overrated rn. They had huge advantage going into Champions because as a region they had better read on Pearl and that's why got huge advantage in map pool. While EMEA teams fucked up with their map pools because they didn't expect to be shit on Pearl. Like every EMEA team had like 2 or 3 shit maps and they got exposed hard. Like look at FPX. They perma banned Haven while being really shit on Breeze and pretty shit on Pearl. That's free 2 maps for most teams facing them. This shouldn't be a problem for next year tho. Now teams know better how you should play Pearl so they can work on it while they can prepare better map pools.

I would replace D3ffo with 7ssk7. Also Jady could join and could reach true potential.

IW is going W gaming

Summer jobs is a system to get young people spend their free time working on shitty jobs for below minimum wage (or make them used to). You get money and experience and that's good for most young people, but its crazy how its getting socially pushed to you from every direction like your "actually productive adults" part.

have never tasted either one

CS boomers are based, weebs are posers and sen fans are normies

xset overrated only did well because of Pearl

wtf

So far this roster looks really good for tier 2. Braveaf didn't have long with Fnatic, but showed potential. Haven't seen much of D3ffo for some time so don't know, but he is still decent. And Aslan is underrated and good controller IMO. Also possible they will be staying in Turkey because Aslan is like German Turkish so he might count as Turkish.

Only been to Sweden, Denmark and Estonia.
Best: Estonia, cheap compared to Finland and Tallinn is pretty chill. People weren't that nice but maybe its just because of tourists and its kinda scuffed.
Worst: Denmark, because there was bunch of constructions everywhere in Copenhagen and it was constantly raining. But I believe that I would really like Denmark nowadays. I was young.

wtf am I looking at my brain hurts
40/100

I understand that only 3 per region, but people should also keep their eyes on Cloud. I feel like so many people don't know who he is and how good he is.

Its fun game if you find heroes and role you like to play.

Hard to rank tbh:

1. FNC
2. NAVI
3. TL
4. KOI
5. VIT
6. VGIA (4-6 all really similar in my opinion, I'm just VIT believer)
7. KC (if they make changes like rumored)
8. FUT
9. TH
10. BBL

maybe I'm underrating BBL because I don't know their players well enough, but for me its pretty clear top 3, mid 3 and then the rest. ON PAPER.

I haven't followed OW esport much and especially APAC for long time: is Carpe washed nowadays? I heard some saying he is but don't know. Also is he still hitscan player?

Really nice! Area with bunch of good players.

Its going to be really exciting to see him compete again

bump

Last: me
but thats why its for fun and giggles right? right guys...?

actually pretty good

Liquid and Vitality too low

I don't understand why they are underrating TL so much. Like what is the problem they see with it?
Sayf is one of the best Chambers in EMEA right now. nAts is arguably the best or at least 2nd best sentinel in the world and can also flex, I 100% believe he is still one of the best players in the world. Jamppi is still consistent, good and flexible. Redgar used to be one of the best IGLs in the world and has potential to get that back, used to frag decently for IGL as well. And Soulcas is very underrated, flexible and decent firepower.

Yeah that may happen. But I believe in ceNder. Like out of any tier 2 talent joining tier 1 next year I have the most faith in ceNder. Also I believe in Salah and the fact that they decided to go for Destrian gives me hope. Maybe there just wasn't better players, but at the same time Molsi and Salah both know this guy so maybe they just thought he would bring something to this team.

I have a lot of faith in Vitality. I like their rumored roster a lot and I think people are going to sleep on them because most of them are pretty unknown. I fully believe ceNder can compete in tier 1. Molsi and Twisten duo has a lot of potential them being the stars of their last rosters. BONECOLD bit unknown, but seeing what happened to Acend after he left he definitely had some impact. They saw potential in Destrian so I believe. And I'm really high on Salah as head coach. Also knowing Vitality they will be backing this team well.

Giants Gaming and Vitality for EMEA. Most would rate NaVi, Fnatic, TL and even KOI over them.

Ofc he is good enough for franchising. Guy is one of the best if not the best rifler in the game. Only that he doesn't seem to like playing under real IGL and thinks he is god caller or something.

minte

hopefully all of them play with new full rosters because this tournament could be really good
